When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Chuck Jones and Looney Tunes always promise much, and Jumpin' Jupiter with its unique premise did so too. As a cartoon, it lives up to the promise it had. The ending is rather abrupt and didn't seem as though it had much of a pay-off. However, Jumpin' Jupiter is really beautifully-designed, the backgrounds and vibrant yet atmospheric colours are very Chuck Jones. Carl Stalling's music is also splendid, there's his distinctive jaunty and sumptuous orchestration and it is also very mysterious-sounding, great for something set in space. The writing is witty and clever, and while the gags are somewhat familiar they are still funny. It's the expressions of the characters though where most of the humour works so well with Sylvester's horror and Porky's increased annoyance. Porky and Sylvester work very well together, though their rapport was even stronger in Scaredy Cat, which I slightly preferred as a cartoon too. Sylvester is a character I've always preferred over Porky, and here he is very likable with material that plays to his strengths, it is very easy to feel sorry for him too. Porky varies with me, with characters like Daffy and Sylvester he works well but he can be a little bland on his own. He is fine here though and I do love how he calmly says "Sylvester, get off of me, or I shall kill you". The alien, which I recognised from Hare-Way to the Stars(I know that was made later, I just saw it before this), is a good foil. Mel Blanc continues to give bravura vocal characterisations. To conclude, really great and close to perfection if the ending was better rounded off. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Porky Pig and Sylvester are out for a camping trip in the desert; as usual Sylvester is scared of the wildlife in the area. However his fears are more founded that he can know as an alien spaceship from Jupiter arrives and abducts them. On the spaceship itself, Porky seems totally unaware while Sylvester is terrified.The pairing of Porky and Sylvester has been done before and it has always been done with Sylvester scared of something that Porky is mostly unaware of. This cartoon has a sci-fi twist instead of the usual ghost or haunted house setting but it uses all the same materials. It uses the spaceship setting quite well but it just felt a little too familiar for my tastes and the gags weren't funny enough to cover the well used base.The alien in the film is too non-descript. With Sylvester not speaking and Porky not being funny it was important that the alien have character; he has a few little bits but generally is just one of those beasts that Bugs encountered in Hare-Way To The Stars. Sylvester is OK but is just doing his usual stuff when partnered with Porky; who himself is reasonable enough but is meant to be the straightman of these films - he brings the reaction to Sylvester, meaning that someone else has to bring the action.Overall, it's about the same level of enjoyment as I got from the other Porky/Sylvester films and it's maybe unfair on this one that I happened to see this after seeing several others, meaning that I was too familiar with the gags.

This is one of Chuck Jones' best cartoons. Porky and Sylvester find themselves abducted by a giant bird from Jupiter. The bird has been sent to planet Earth to obtain animal life and accidentally takes Porky and Sylvester while asleep on its space ship. Very funny stuff.

I have very fond memories of this one, although I haven't seen it for a good 25 years. It's weird that of all the great WB cartoons, this one one hasn't seen a UK TV broadcast since about 1975! And I've been watching out for it!!Things to enjoy: Porky and Sylvester experiencing a spectacular alien abduction scenario that even Chris Carter would hesitate to portray; a terrific 'space-score' by Carl Stalling which includes a beautifully epic arrangement of Raymond Scott's 'Powerhouse' music; the disturbing sight of a terrified, dumb-struck Sylvester realizing that he and the pig have been whisked off to an alien planet while Porky remains totally and blissfully oblivious to the the fact.Great!Love to see it again.
